Rental Rates and Land Values

Market rates for rents and land values are factors in lease valuations and negotiations. Sources of information for agricultural rental rates include USDA/NASS and OSU surveys plus school land auctions. USDA/NASS provides county averages for pasture and cropland (irrigated is provided separately where available). OSU’s biennial survey reports both averages and distributions by broad geographic region for different types of pasture and cropland for both cash and share rental agreements. Land value data sources include USDA/NASS, Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank quarterly ag credit survey publications and OSU’s ag land value website: http://agecon.okstate.edu/oklandvalues/.
